Episode: RADIO BASE CAMP - with Guest DJ Germaine Valentine

Radio Base Camp is a weekly show hosted by Steve di Costanzo on WPKN 89.5-FM every Tuesday from 7am to 9am. Steve plays music from the all eras and genres as long as they are GREAT songs. His focus is more those tracks from the mid-60's to late 70's and new releases!

Todays Show:

For my Radio Base Camp show today from 7am to 9am I'm happy to announce that Germaine Valentine and her hubby Hilton Valentine (The Animals) will be on my show again.

In fact, Germaine will be spinning her fav psychedelic stuff- maybe the 4th show over the past few years- here on WPKN. She really knows her stuff and it will be a great show. Hilton is the man behind the guitar intro to House of the Rising Sun and is playing a sold-out gig this Sunday at Lyric Hall Theater before playing several gigs in his native England.

My friend Howard Thompson is doing his show 'pure' on 1st & 3rd Fridays as I've shifted during the day to being the GM of WPKN. . Just bear in mind that the last Friday of the month is reserved for Chris Frantz and his show- "Chris Frantz the Talking Head"

I have given up my late night show Radio Base Camp-Late Night on the 2nd & 4th Monday nights from 11:00pm to 2:00am. Because of my new weekly morning music show. See seperate related episodes

RADIO BASE CAMP focuses on the newest indie rock, 60s beat-punk,psych, garage-fuzz, surf, 70s punk, 60s greasy soul & r'n'b shakers, 50s R&R, exotica, afrobeat, jamaican ska/rocksteady and beyond We play deep tracks and unpolished gems, songs you may remember and ones you might not have heard, along with demos, rarities, alternative takes and all kinds of great music that doesn't get played that often. We also feature new music by current bands, many of whom are influenced by the 60's (and beyond). We do live and telephone interviews with musicians, producers, and chroniclers of an era spanning from the 1950's to present day. We aim to highlight and focus on music with great song writing, sounds and production, having a lot of fun in the process...

a little history....RADIO BASE CAMP is a radio show that I started in 2007 on live365.com internet radio. It became a weekly WPKN "overnight" in early 2008 from Sunday into Monday for two years before moving to Friday afternoons in September 2009 with my part-time co-host, Eric Cocks. In early 2010, I decided to focus on my own programming and me and Eric reconfigured our weekly radio show into two seperate and distinct shows: Radio Base Camp with hosted Steve di Costanzo and Connections ...With Eric Cocks. Starting July 1, 2012 I became the paid GM of WPKN and phased out my "working hours" show. I now can be heard every Tuesday morning from 7am to 9am.
